I just read Gene Poore’s Oct. 8 letter headlined, “Comments on letters deserve a response,” and I think he is a good writer. I myself have written several letters that have been published. I’ve also written some that weren’t.

I never thought about going to the website to see comments on my letters. I may start doing that.

Some things I wrote I am proud of. Some I wrote I wish I would’ve put more thought into or never submitted to start with.

I own several Bibles and I even have the app on my tablet. I will never quote scripture as I am not very well versed on it. I also think those who choose to reference it may not be reaching their target audience.

I don’t think it’s bad to state your belief or quote scripture. It’s trying to sell to the non-believers that you need to work on.

As I’ve written before, kids learn from their parents. Whatever they observe they will see as being acceptable. Bad manners, bad attitudes and bad language will be the norm for that child when they get older.

Parents should be aware of their actions when their children are around or later on they may be asking, “Where did I go wrong?”
